<br />
Call for Proposals<br />
2014 Fall Symposium Series<br />
Washington, DC <b> November 13-15, 2014<br />
<br />
Sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence<br />
<br />
AAAI invites proposals for the 2014 Fall Symposium Series, to be held Thursday - Saturday, November 13-15 at the Westin Arlington Gateway in Arlington, Virginia adjacent to Washington, DC. The Fall Symposium Series provides the AI community with a unique venue in which researchers from different areas of AI can:<br />
<br />
</b> Present speculative work and work in progress<br />
<b> Hold focused discussions over several days<br />
</b> Build new communities for emerging disciplines<br />
<b> Build ties between existing disciplines<br />
<br />
The series brings together a set of two and one-half day symposia at a common site, providing a unique and intimate forum for colleagues in a given discipline. The series also provides an important gathering point for the AI community as a whole. Efforts are made to keep registration and lodging costs low so that graduate students can afford to attend. The series is designed to minimize the administrative burden on the organizing committees of the individual symposia. AAAI manages registration and local arrangements, and provides organizational support, publicity within the AAAI community, and publication of working notes for distribution within the symposium and (optionally) the community at large.<br />
<br />
The series runs twice yearly (spring and fall). Approximately eight symposium topics will be selected for the 2014 Fall Symposium Series. Accepted proposals will be distributed as widely as possible over the subfields of AI, and balanced between theoretical and applied topics. Symposia bridging theory and practice and those combining AI and related fields are particularly solicited.<br />
<br />
Proposals for symposia should be between two and five pages in length, and should contain:<br />
<br />
</b> A title for the symposium.<br />
<br />
<b> A description of the symposium, identifying specific areas of interest, and, optionally, general symposium format. The symposia are intended to encourage presentation of speculative work and work in progress, as well as completed work. Therefore, ample time should be scheduled for discussion. Novel programming, including the use of target problems, open-format panels, working groups, or breakout sessions, is encouraged.<br />
<br />
</b> The names and (physical and electronic) addresses of the organizing committee, preferably three or more people at different sites, all of whom have agreed to serve on the committee.<br />
<br />
<b> A list of potential participants who have been contacted and who have expressed interest in participating. A common way of gathering potential participants is to send email messages to email lists related to the topic(s) of the symposium. Note that potential participants need not commit to participating, only state that they are interested.<br />
<br />
Ideally, the entire organizing committee should collaborate in producing the proposal. If possible, a draft proposal should be sent out to a few of the potential participants and their comments solicited.<br />
<br />
Proposals will be reviewed by the Symposium Series Standing Committee (Chair: Matthew Taylor, Washington State University; Cochair: Gita Sukthankar, University of Central Florida; Associate Chair: Kate Larson, University of Waterloo; Julia Hirschberg, Columbia University, and Francesca Rossi, University of Padova).<br />
<br />
The criteria for acceptance of proposals include:<br />
<br />
</b> Perceived interest to the AAAI community. Although AAAI encourages symposia that cross disciplinary boundaries, a symposium must be of interest to some community within the AAAI membership. Symposia that are of interest to a broad range of AAAI members are, of course, also encouraged.<br />
<br />
<b> Expected size. Although the series supports a range of symposium sizes (roughly 25-75), the target size is around 40 participants.<br />
<br />
</b> Lack of established venues on the topic. The AAAI Symposium Series is intended to nurture emerging communities and topics, so topics that already have yearly conferences or workshops are inappropriate.<br />
<br />
<b> Qualifications of the organizing committee. The organizing committee should have (1) a good technical knowledge of the topic, (2) good organizational skills, and (3) connections to the various communities from which they intend to draw participants. Committees for cross-disciplinary symposia should adequately represent the disciplines to be covered by the symposium.<br />
<br />
Symposium proposals should be submitted as soon as possible, but no later than February 7, 2014. Proposals that are submitted significantly before this deadline can be in draft form. Comments on how to improve and complete the proposal will be returned to the submitter in time for revisions to be made before the deadline. Notifications of acceptance or rejection will be sent to submitters around February 28, 2014.<br />
<br />
The submitters of accepted proposals will become the chairs of the symposium, unless alternative arrangements are made. Symposium organizing committees are responsible for:<br />
<br />
</b> Writing short calls for participation and registration, which AAAI will distribute to its membership<br />
<b> Additional publicity of the symposium, especially to potential audiences from outside the AAAI community<br />
</b> Reviewing requests to participate in the symposium and determining symposium participants<br />
<b> Providing information to AAAI to facilitate the collection of submissions for the symposium technical reports from the selected participants<br />
</b> Scheduling the activities of the symposium<br />
* Preparing a short review of the symposium, to be printed in AI Magazine.<br />
<br />
Please submit your symposium proposals to:<br />
<br />
Matthew E.Taylor (Washington State University)<br />
Gita Sukthankar (University of Central Florida)<br />
FSS-14 Chair and Cochair<br />

<br />
Dear AAAI Members,<br />
<br />
The AAAI-14 Conference Committee invites you to submit a proposal to the Senior Member Presentation Track, which will provide an opportunity for established researchers to give a broad talk on a well-developed body of research or an important new research area. These presentations should provide a "big picture" view-in contrast to regular papers, which may focus on a specific contribution. They generally will also include results obtained by researchers other than the speaker. Submissions from senior members of the AI community, AAAI Senior Members, AAAI Fellows, and people of similar stature are encouraged.<br />
<br />
To show the interest and novelty of the topic, proposals are required to cite at least 3 papers published in the last 2 years, which are not all by the same authors and of which at least one is in a highly competitive venue similar to AAAI.<br />
<br />
Presentations will have the length of a regular paper presentation and will be selected on the basis of short proposals. Please refer to the Call for Proposals for complete guidelines and requirements. Proposals will be reviewed by qualified reviewers drawn from the AAAI program committee.<br />
<br />
To review the complete Call for Proposals, please see <a href="http://www.aaai.org/Conferences/AAAI/2014/aaai14seniorcall.php">http://www.aaai.org/Conferences/AAAI/2014/aaai14seniorcall.php</a>. All proposals are due by midnight PDT on February 21, 2014. For further information, please contact AAAI at <a href="mailto:&#x61;&#97;&#97;&#x69;&#49;&#52;&#64;&#97;&#x61;&#x61;&#x69;&#x2E;&#x6F;&#114;&#x67;">&#x61;&#97;&#97;&#x69;&#49;&#52;&#64;&#97;&#x61;&#x61;&#x69;&#x2E;&#x6F;&#114;&#x67;</a>, or the track cochairs, Luc De Raedt, Amy Greenwald, and Pascal Van Hentenryck.<br />

Dear AAAI Members,<br />
<br />
Please join us for the AAAI Spring Symposium Series, to be held March 24-26, 2014 at Stanford University. The Spring Symposium Series is designed to bring colleagues together in an intimate forum while at the same time providing a significant gathering point for the AI community. The two and one half day format of the series allows participants to devote considerably more time to feedback and discussion than typical one-day workshops.<br />
<br />
The titles of the eight Spring Symposia are:<br />
<br />
<b> Applied Computational Game Theory<br />
</b> Big Data Becomes Personal: Knowledge into Meaning<br />

Dear AAAI Members,<br />
<br />
AAAI is pleased to announce that the Eighth International AAAI Conference on Weblogs and Social Media (ICWSM-14), will be held June 1-4, 2014 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA. The full Call for Papers, as well as additional information about the conference is available at the ICWSM-14 website (<a href="http://www.icwsm.org/2014">http://www.icwsm.org/2014</a>). Please note the following important dates on your calendar:<br />
<br />
Abstract Submission: January 15, 2014 (required)<br />
Full Paper, Poster and Demo Submission: January 22, 2014 (11:59pm PST)<br />
Notification of Acceptance: Early March, 2014<br />
Camera Ready Due: March 25, 2014<br />
ICWSM-14, Ann Arbor, MI: June 1-4, 2014<br />
<br />
ICWSM-14 is a unique forum for researchers in computer science and social science to come together to share knowledge, discuss ideas, exchange information, and learn about cutting-edge research in diverse fields with the common theme of online social media. This overall theme includes research in new perspectives in social theories, as well as computational algorithms for analyzing social media. ICWSM is a singularly fitting venue for research that blends social science and computational approaches to answer important and challenging questions about human social behavior through social media while advancing computational tools for vast and unstructured data. ICWSM, now in its eighth year, has become one of the premier venues for computational social science, and previous years of ICWSM have featured papers, posters, and demos that draw upon network science, machine learning, computational linguistics, sociology, communication, and political science.<br />
<br />
For ICWSM-14, in addition to the usual program of contributed technical talks, posters and invited presentations, the main conference will include a selection of keynote talks from prominent social scientists and technologists. Building on successes in previous years, ICWSM-14 will also hold a workshops and tutorials day just prior to the main conference. <br />
<br />
For further information, please consult the website listed above, or write to us at <a href="mailto:&#x69;&#99;&#119;&#x73;&#x6D;&#x31;&#52;&#x40;&#x61;&#x61;&#x61;&#x69;&#46;&#x6F;&#114;&#x67;">&#x69;&#99;&#119;&#x73;&#x6D;&#x31;&#52;&#x40;&#x61;&#x61;&#x61;&#x69;&#46;&#x6F;&#114;&#x67;</a>. We hope to see you in Ann Arbor next June!<br />

<p><br />
AAAI-14 AI Video Competition<br />
Date: July 28, 2014<br />
Place: Québec City, Québec, Canada<br />
Website: <a href="http://www.aaaivideos.org">http://www.aaaivideos.org</a><br />
Submission Deadline: April 15, 2014 <br />
<br />
-----------------------------------<br />
<br />
Dear AAAI Members,<br />
<br />
AAAI is pleased to announce the continuation of the AAAI Video Competition, now entering its eighth year. The video competition will be held in conjunction with the AAAI-14 conference in Québec City, Québec, Canada, July 27-31, 2014. At the award ceremony, authors of award-winning videos will be presented with "Shakeys", trophies named in honour of SRI's Shakey robot and its pioneering video. Award-winning videos will be screened at this ceremony.<br />
<br />
The goal of the competition is to show the world how much fun AI is by documenting exciting artificial intelligence advances in research, education, and application. View previous entries and award winners at <a href="http://www.aaaivideos.org/past_competitions">http://www.aaaivideos.org/past_competitions</a>.<br />
<br />
The rules are simple: Compose a short video about an exciting AI project, and narrate it so that it is accessible to a broad online audience. We strongly encourage student participation.<br />
<br />
To increase reach, select videos will be uploaded to Youtube and promoted through social media (twitter, facebook, g+) and major blogs in AI and robotics. <br />
<br />
VIDEO FORMAT AND CONTENT<br />
Either a 1 minute (max) short video or a 5 minute (max) long video, with English narration (or English subtitles). Consider combining screenshots, interviews, and videos of a system in action. Make the video self-contained, so that newcomers to AI can understand and learn from it. We encourage a good sense of humor, but will only accept submissions with serious AI content. For example, we welcome submissions of videos that:<br />
<br />
<b> Highlight a research topic - contemporary or historic, your own or from another group<br />
</b> Introduce viewers to an exciting new AI-related technology<br />
<b> Provide a window into the research activities of a laboratory and/or senior researcher<br />
</b> Attract prospective students to the field of AI<br />
<b> Explain AI concepts - your video could be used in the classroom<br />
<br />
Please note that this list is not exhaustive. Novel ideas for AI-based videos, including those not necessarily based on a "system in action", are encouraged. No matter what your choice is, creativity is encouraged! (Please note: The authors of previous, award-winning videos typically used humor, background music, and carefully selected movie clips to make their contributions come alive.)<br />
<br />
Please also note that videos should only contain material for which the authors own copyright. Clips from films or television and music for the soundtrack should only be used if copyright permission has been granted by the copyright holders, and this written permission accompanies the video submission.<br />
<br />
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS<br />
Submit your video by making it available for download on a (preferably password-protected) dropbox, ftp or website. Once you have done so, please fill out the submission form (<a href="http://www.aaaivideos.org/submission_form.txt">http://www.aaaivideos.org/submission_form.txt</a>) and send it to us by email (<a href="mailto:&#x73;&#117;&#98;&#109;&#105;&#115;&#115;&#105;&#x6F;&#110;&#64;&#x61;&#97;&#x61;&#105;&#x76;&#105;&#x64;&#101;&#x6F;&#x73;&#46;&#x6F;&#114;&#103;">&#x73;&#117;&#98;&#109;&#105;&#115;&#115;&#105;&#x6F;&#110;&#64;&#x61;&#97;&#x61;&#105;&#x76;&#105;&#x64;&#101;&#x6F;&#x73;&#46;&#x6F;&#114;&#103;</a>). All submissions are due no later than April 15, 2014.<br />
<br />
REVIEW AND AWARD PROCESS<br />
Submitted videos will be peer-reviewed by members of the programme committee according to the criteria below. Videos that receive positive reviews will be accepted for publication in the AAAI Video Competition proceedings. Select videos will also be uploaded to Youtube, promoted through social media, and featured on the dedicated website (<a href="http://www.aaaivideos.org">http://www.aaaivideos.org</a>).

Artificial Intelligence Journal: <br />
FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES for PROMOTING AI RESEARCH <br />
Deadline for proposals: December 31, 2013<br />
<br />
Background<br />
<br />
The Artificial Intelligence Journal (AIJ) is one of the longest established and most respected journals in AI, and since it was founded in 1970, it has published many of the key papers in the field. The operation of the Editorial Board is supported financially through an arrangement with AIJ's publisher, Elsevier. Through this arrangement, the AIJ editorial board is in the unique position of being able to make available substantial funds, (of the order of 175,000 Euros per annum), to support promotion and dissemination of AI research. These funds are made available through a series of competitive open calls. This document relates to the eighth call for funding, with a deadline of December 31, 2013.<br />
<br />
What are the goals of this funding?<br />
<br />
In providing this funding, AIJ aims to:<br />
-- promote & raise awareness of AI research & practice;<br />
-- encourage the timely and widespread dissemination of AI research results, techniques, and tools;<br />
-- promote interaction and exchange of ideas between AI researchers, practitioners, and students;<br />
-- promote the exploitation of AI research results, techniques, and tools.<br />
<br />
We strongly encourage the submission of proposals for activities that are fundamentally new, and likely to lead to the establishment of a new research community or new direction for AI research.<br />
<br />
What activities will AIJ consider funding?<br />
<br />
Broadly speaking, any activity that achieves the goals described above. For example:<br />
-- student travel scholarships for a conference or workshop;<br />
-- funds for an invited speaker to present at a conference or workshop;<br />
-- funds to support a web site to disseminate proceedings of an AI related conference or workshop;<br />
-- start up funds for a workshop in a promising new area of research;<br />
-- funding to organise a summer school on some aspect of AI.<br />
<br />
This list is absolutely not intended to be exhaustive, and we strongly encourage you to consider innovative ways in which the goals set out above can be achieved.<br />
<br />
What activities does AIJ prefer not to fund?<br />
<br />
-- We prefer not to fund individuals. By preference, requests will come from organisations such as a foundation, charitable body, or the organising committee of an event. AIJ does not exclude the possibility of funding individuals, but this is likely to be exceptional. Note that AIJ will not support individual requests for travel funds.<br />
<br />
-- We prefer not to fund research projects. Research projects involving staffing costs would probably not, in our view, be a cost effective use of the funds.<br />
<br />
-- We won't fund duplicate activities. For example, if there is already an established, successful, and well-regarded conference in the area of X, then in all likelihood we would not provide seed funds to set up a duplicate, competitor conference.<br />
<br />
-- We prefer not to fund activities where alternative sources of funding are readily available.<br />
<br />
-- Activities are funded on a not-for-private-profit basis. AIJ will not fund activities that lead directly to profit for the organisation or individuals involved. However, we recognise that with some events, (e.g., large conferences) it is necessary to budget for a surplus; in this case, proposals should describe what will happen to the surplus.<br />
<br />
There is no hard and fast rule about how much you can ask for: you should ask for what you need to make your activity successful. However, here are some broad principles; as ever, these are only guidelines. First, if you are applying on behalf of a large (&gt; 80 participants), successful, and scientifically strong conference, then please bear in mind that several such conferences applied for funding for student travel grants and invited speakers in the December 2011 round of AIJ funding, and typically received about Euro 7000 each. Although, as always, there may be exceptions to this, it may be helpful to use this amount as a guideline. Note that we would be reluctant to spend more than Euro 35K on an individual activity. Proposals may include the possibility of AIJ underwriting an activity (to an agreed limit) in the event of a loss. Finally, we urge you to investigate whether it is possible to leverage AIJ funding, for<br />
example by obtaining matched funding from elsewhere. In this case, the value of every euro spent by AIJ is effectively doubled, which makes for a compelling funding case.<br />
<br />
How can I bid for funds?<br />
<br />
A proposal should contain the following sections:<br />
<br />
-- What?<br />
Describe exactly what activity funding is requested for. Please note that AIJ funds specific activities. For example, "request funds to support a conference on X" is not a specific request, while "request travel funds to bring invited speaker X to conference Y" is a specific request. Provide any contextual information that you think is relevant.<br />
<br />
-- How Much?<br />
A (high level) budget, in Euros, which: clearly states the amount requested; provides details of the use of requested funds; describes how the requested amount fits into an overall budget for the activity/event; and clearly states what will happen to funds in the event of a surplus.<br />
<br />
-- Why?<br />
Brief justification for funding; note that priority will be given to activities for which no alternative funds are available.<br />
<br />
-- Who?<br />
Describe who will benefit from the proposed activity.<br />
<br />
-- When?<br />
Dates of the proposed activity, and date by which funding would be needed.<br />
<br />
-- Where?<br />
Location of the proposed activity.<br />
<br />
-- Contact details.<br />
Name, affiliation, contact details for the responsible party (postal address, email, telephone number, fax), web address of event if available.<br />
<br />
Proposals should under no circumstances exceed more than two pages in total. Proposals should be submitted in PDF via the Easychair web review system at the following URL: <a href="http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aij9">http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aij9</a><br />
<br />
NB: PLEASE GIVE ALL COSTS IN EUROS<br />
<br />
How will proposals be evaluated?<br />
<br />
We anticipate issuing calls for proposals two times per year, with December 31, 2013 being the deadline for this call. Further calls will be issued later -- watch the AIJ web site for details (<a href="http://www.aijd.org/">http://www.aijd.org/</a>). The AIJ sponsorship committee will assess proposals on the basis of:<br />
-- scientific quality of proposed activities;<br />
-- likely level of impact on the international AI community;<br />
-- cost effectiveness/value for money.<br />
<br />
All bidders will be informed by email of the outcome of their proposal as soon as an outcome is known. If a proposal is approved for funding, then please be aware it may take time to transfer funds: if you are bidding for funds to support an event, then we suggest your proposal should be submitted at least 6 months before the event takes place.<br />
<br />
Where a proposal is felt to have merit but is not fundable in its submitted form, we may return to bidders to discuss possible modifications; where this is felt to be necessary, we will try to do this practicably and expeditiously. A summary of successful proposals will be made publicly available on the AIJ website.<br />
<br />
My proposal was rejected, can I appeal?<br />
<br />
The decision of the AIJ sponsorship committee with respect to funding decisions is final, and we will not enter into any correspondence with respect to unsuccessful proposals.</p>
